Texas_3D_Customs Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 OldMopars and myself are teaming up to produce grills for cars and trucks. I am not saying we will do all requests but here is the procedure. Make a request for something to be made with reference pictures of what is desired. This has to be made for a readily available kit, which will need to be mailed to myself for scanning as we have found this is the most reliable way to ensure great fitment. The body needs to be primered in light grey to ensure scanning is very accurate, I will mail the body back at the expense of the provider unless a grill is purchased from me which if so I will send it back with the purchase free if charge.

vincen47 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) An accurate, open, 82-86 grille for the MPC/AMT Bronco would be much appreciated. I have a complete kit from which I could supply a primed body and any other needed parts. Though I’d prefer one to fit the MPC kit shown above, I also have the Revell/Monogram Bronco that I could also supply, if there’s interest in doing both. I’m also the owner of a 1:1 ‘86 Bronco, if that would be of help to verify measurements, photos, etc. Thanks.

av405 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I'm requesting the 1983-1991 Econoline grill. The AMT Econoline kit has been re-released multiple times these past few years and I have a kit I can send to you. I would want the hubcaps pictured as well, but I understand this thread is only for grills. For everybody else, I have done this arrangement with these two gentleman in the past and they were top-rate transactions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I'm not the only one that wants one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catpack68 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) How about a base Chevy C10 grille for the MPC Deserter kit? I know you were looking for different Grill options for different kits,but it would be nice to have a sport rear bumper and a tailigate with trim for the same kit too.I’m pretty sure this kit is still available Edited August 23, 2022 by catpack68 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim H. Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 How about the round headlight grill for a 78 Bronco or F-series. Soon to be two available kits this could go on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the taillights are mounted vertically in the corners of the bed. So, new bed caps and tail lights would also have to be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plowboy Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Something that would sell well and is current would be accurate grilles for the Moebius bumpside Ford pickups. The grilles in the kits are horribly inaccurate. You could make the '67-'72 grilles. Another suggestion would be the '73-'75 Ford pickup grille along with the '76-'77.

oldcarfan Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 AMT is re-releasing the Dodge van a lot and this grill would be a good alternative. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale361 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Just a thought. I bet guys would like a nice grill for their AMT Ford Louisville cabs. I sure would! Even as a kid I thought those kit supplied grills were pretty sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Not just that, but the square headlights, more modern bar grill, and the hood logos (vintage & modern) would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmopars Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I am hoping to get back at it after some family issues. This Ford Louisville is a grill I can get started on as I have at least 3 of these kits unstarted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincen47 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 With my request above, I’m fully aware that the 80’s Ford truck series of kits are not readily available, but they are available. And, considering your market of buyers for such upgrades, the “lunatic fringe”, so to speak, “easy to find” doesn’t stop us, especially if it’s a high-level upgrade for a desirable model - probably one that is in our stash. Either way, I respect your decisions on what to make. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I'm in on the Larger Louisville grill and the Dodge van grill posted by Gary and Dale. These kits are plentiful and we definitely could use some appearance options for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
